A friend of mine (club member) has to fit all weather tyres in order to visit his grandchildren in Slovakia - legal requirement. He has never met weather that requires such tyres. These tyres are a softer compound than 'normal' tyres and he has to change them about once every 18 months. Does about 8k per year. |

I used to run my old 75 on Avon WT7 tyres, managed to get a good couple of winters out of them.

This will be my first venture onto winter tyres in 40 years of driving.
I want to go to Norway or Sweden in the winter and try a car with studs in the tyres. macafee2 |

Most welcome to call in if you’re ever passing. My Bantam D1 can’t match your Triumph but there’s a guy in our village who has original Speed Twin and a horde of classic Nortons. Regards |

I'm going to invest in a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta r3's for my 190 when I do my Arctic circle jolly but it might be overkill for the UK.
